Urgent Elopement - Venues, Ideas on a very small budget

tulipchka

Hi guys,

I need some help. My fiance is moving to San Francisco from Sweden and we need to get married. His family decided to come, so we are doing a super small wedding 6-8 ppl including bride and groom. 

Any suggestions for places around Bay Area, Wine Country? 

We are on a very tide budget with me relocating back to the US and him moving, but still want to have something nice.

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thank you,

Katja

We are getting married in 60 days from now! Forgot to say that...

Again, thank you for your help and advice.

You might want to consider just doing a ceremony at San Francisco city hall. The architecture us gorgeous and makes for beautiful photo ops. There are tons of restaurants that 6 to 8 people can go to after. There are a couple in the ferry building.

PS. My photographer did a few weddings in city hall. Here is one. This is a queer wedding, but gives you some ideas of how gorgeous a city hall ceremony can be.

I was thinking the same as @QueerFemme, the certificate fee is $101 and to have the ceremony there is $77 only downfall is they are only open Monday - Friday

Ahhh, yes. that's true.  It would save you a fortune, because then you wouldn't have to hire an officiant (which will run you at least $200-400 in the bay area).    there are tons of beautifual parks, and you could get married on one of the piers in San Francisco.  It really just depends on how much you want to spend.
